An Unforgettable Anniversary Stay — One of the Best Hotel Experiences Ever!!

We had the most amazing anniversary stay at the 12 Apostles Hotel for the night — quite possibly one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The weather played ball, was absolutely perfect, and our sea-facing room was sunny and warm in mid winter Cape Town and offered spectacular views of the bay on a pristine, sunny afternoon. From our balcony, we could share a glass of bubbles absorbing the 360 degree views of the shimmering ocean but also the tranquil swimming pool and the 12 Apostles mountains as backdrop — pure magic.
The room itself was stunning: beautifully appointed, and decorated, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. My partner, CariAnne, was completely blown away: full kudos , chapeau, credits (not sure that I will be able to lift the bar any higher in future). I’ve stayed in some really good , top hotels — in my previous business life: 12 Apostles easily matched / surpassed those experiences.
One of the highlights was the breakfast: a luxurious spread featuring fresh oysters, champagne, smoked salmon, super crispy bacon, and every imaginable accompaniment for a truly indulgent start to the day.
What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff were exceptionally attentive and warm, making us feel completely at home throughout our stay.
We will definitely be booking again for next year. The 12 Apostles is a rare gem — world-class hospitality in a breathtaking setting.

The seafacing room was spacious and the staff were great. Fereka from front desk was exceptional with her excellent restaurant recommendations and went out of the way to help us get African avocado after she found out we loved it.

We were met by the friendliest staff; everyone went out of their way to make us welcome and our stay memorable. We had the best fish at Cafe Grill. The Breakfast was outstanding; the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Especially Henry who came to warm our room and also bought us extra blankets. We loved the Spa and the Movies. Really the best birthday celebration ever...
